Blood Orange Margarita

It has been some time since I've had a drink post.

Cinco de Mayo was as god an excuse to change that as any.

Blood oranges have a short season and I thought that I might have missed it but I lucked out.

This is a beautiful version of a summertime favourite.

 

Blood Orange Margarita

2 oz blood orange juice
1 tsp sugar
½ oz Cointreau (or other orange-flavoured liquer)
1½ oz tequila

Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake and pour into a Margarita glass or rocks glass.
